In France, growth was primarily organic, driven in particular by the rise of broadband Internet infrastructure activities (optical fibre) and Linky. The second quarter was particularly strong, with turnover growing by almost 70%.

International operations, which account for nearly 30% of overall activity, maintained in Q2 the fast pace established in Q1. They benefited from strong organic growth and the successful integration of Spanish companies Rexion and Autronic, as well as Belgian company JFS, acquired respectively in November 2015, March 2016, and May 2016. The acquisitions account for roughly 3/4 of growth internationally.

The group confirms the prospects of profitable double-digit growth throughout the year.
